Serve folder

Options

Description

Middleware to add additional folders to the server. Useful to serve more static files stored in a different place.

Installation

This middeware must be used with the Lume's HTTP Server. To use it in production, you need a host running a Deno server, like Deno Deploy.

Create an entry point file (for example, serve.ts) with the following code:

import Server from "lume/core/server.ts";
import serve_folder from "lume/middlewares/serve_folder.ts";

const server = new Server();

server.use(serve_folder({
  root: "./other-folder",
}));

// Serve the files in this folder only if they don't exist in the main folder.
server.use(serve_folder({
  root: "./fallback-files",
  after: true,
}));

server.start();

Local development

You can configure Lume's development server to use this middleware in the _config.ts file.

import lume from "lume/mod.ts";
import serve_folder from "lume/middlewares/serve_folder.ts";

const site = lume({
  server: {
    middlewares: [serve_folder({ root: "./other-folder" })],
  },
});

export default site;
